blog #10 ALMOST DONE!!!

      These are two Intellectual skills I have learned this past semester. One of them is I have learned to engage in self discovery and analyzation of text. Self-Discovery is a big step in life and in  college. For example “ the college experience might be described as a voyage of self-discovery.”  You are going to go through so many challenges . You have to find yourself and come together for your own discovery. Self-discovery is a major thing not for only me but for all of you to find as well. In my reading class I have mastered my analyzation skills, by discovery the main idea of anything I read. For example, I am able to pick out the important things of a passage to fully understand  or know the main idea or topic.

Two Personal skills I have overcome the past semester, Honesty and Problem Solving. For an example of Honesty, I am the type of person to not beat around the bush I tell it how I see it. Another way I use my honesty skills are self-honesty and knowing right from wrong in everyday life situation. The second skill I have learned is problem solving. I have learned to solve most of my problems. With all the problems in my life I have had so many obstacles to overcome this year or even this school semester. For example getting into a car accident, tooth infection and negative people in my life. My second moms daughter passing away it has been hectic in my life. At one point I thought it was all coming down but I have honestly picked myself up from the rut I was in.  With that being said I have learned to work through my problems and stay on top of things that are important in furthering my career. In order to get somewhere you have to work hard everyday in life. Everyday in my life my dad tells me in the end it will all be worth it!

All in all my classes this semester have taught me a lot  Mr. Still and Mrs. Rice. In Mrs. Rice’s class she has taught me honesty and problem solving and to be a better thinker. In all of my problem solving in school my mind was negative and now I have become a positive creative thinker. For example to be a positive creative thinker my mindset has changed to be creative and use the DAAPS RULE. For Mr. still he has taught me how to analyze a text really well. Before I couldn’t even tell the main idea. Now I breeze through the paragraphs like they aren’t nothing. Self-discovery has helped me come a long way in not only reading but education class as well. All of my other classes have helped me but not as much as these specific two. I hope you have found your four skills whatever they may be because were all different. All in all my four skills have helped me a lot.

Blog #9 rough draft

As we have been given a free post I am going to talk to you about music. Music is the most healing thing for me. No matter what time of day or where I need music. Music is something for me that is healing and I can relate to so many songs/situations in many ways. I hope each and everyone of you can find your healing place. Music has always spoke to me since I was little. Now I have been introduced to so many genres I have ventured out to what I like.

Music is like a drug for me I need it all the time every day. From my worst moments to my happy moments it doesn’t matter music is something that speaks to me. Mostly everyone watches tv everyday but not me I listen to music every day. In the shower, while I’m going to sleep, during my free time ,in my worst or happy moments music has always been there. Our hearts are our own beatboxes to our own songs. Everyone in life isn’t going to like the same beat or even same genre but you have to venture out and really listen to inspiring songs. If I didn’t have music to listen to everyday of my life I would be a walking zombie.

When I started listening to music I discovered something about myself I never even knew existed. Which is in every situation in my life music has helped me. Most people say you cant focus when you have music on that’s false. In every homework assignment every essay I have music on. It’s when I think the most so many things going through my mind so I write it all down  and type it all out. I Have been a good writer since I was little. I think it’s because I do the opposite of what everyone else says. I am the beat to MY OWN DRUM and I highly encourage each and everyone of you to find the beat to your own drum.

 I believe music is the only medicine the heart and soul needs. If many people felt the same way about music than drugs the world would be a much more peaceful place.. All in all I hope I have spoke to each  and everyone of you to find a solution to every problem in life. My solution is music. The most peaceful thing in my life. Find your solution no matter what it could be but never forget music is healing.

   By: Ed Payne and Tiffany Ap; Paul Walkers death, Actors fatal accident his own fault Porsche says. https://www.cnn.com/2015/11/17/entertainment/paul-walker-death-lawsuit/index.html

 

  A topic I have followed through my whole life from Fast and Furious 1. I love fast cars and fast movies and fast things happening  in life. To see my favorite actor pass away from a car crash and act so well in the movies was very rough. It affected me pretty bad I watched the video of his crash trying to find answers and I couldn’t find much. Paul walker was genuinely a great soul. Not only his cast loved him dearly and thought the world of him but friends and many other people over the world. Paul walker had so many flowers and gifts outside of the crash it was honestly amazing but so sad. Paul was a great soul on and off set it didn’t matter. I love to live my life a quarter mile at a time as he did.

 

     My article is about the beloved Paul Walker. I chose this article because it is something I remember so thoroughly. I saw the live video of Paul walkers car on fire from the crash! During searching for all the evidence and so many questions I had I actually discovered Paul was still alive burning yelling for help! Things would have or could have turned out so differently that’s why I was so shocked with disbelief it was like I couldn’t believe this happened! The many citizens recording must have been in shock or something but there’s no way I could have stood there and heard him screaming. I would have helped no matter who it was!

   My Thesis infers the death of Paul walker and his daughter suing Porsche. Porsche company explains that Paul Walker was known as a fast driving actor and he died that way. Also stated “ Paul was a knowledgeable and sophisticated where he knowingly exposed himself to the risk involved in using a vehicle.” Also information from the article  “ the lawsuit  alleges the vehicle lacked safety  features that are found on well designed racing cars or even Porsche least expensive road car features that could have prevented the accident or at a minimum allowed Paul to survive the crash.” I 110% believe this after reading so many articles on it and stayed following up. Paul would still be here with us today. A pure soul gone way to soon.

   All of my information is informative. Some of you may or may not know anything about Paul Walker so that’s why I’m here to inform you! I am telling you who he is what happened in his life and genuinely a good actor. Its still terrible to think about the crash. Informative because I’m giving you information not something I can physically  hold in my hand to persuade you.

Blog #7 our corrupt society.

By Erika Fernandez , Jessica Gruenling and Josh Gorbutt from KBTX news recently released “Missing girls mother and her boyfriend charged with tampering with a corpse.” A two year old Hazana Anderson went missing last Sunday here in College Station Texas at a local park. The mother got booked in Brazos County on Sunday. What started all of this was the mother of the two year old little girl made a false report. The false report was she left baby Hazana in her stroller while she went to her car in seeing distance of Hazana then when she came back from her car baby Hazana was gone? How is that possible a two year old getting out of her stroller and just roaming off? The mother of baby Hazana and the boyfriend are the two involved. As I have been following up with this case and everything happening it is very mortifying to know someone would do this. I have sent many prayers hoping this isn’t correct and that they find the sweet innocent baby. As of Friday November 2^nd still nothing new. The investigators found an object in a trash bag and the baby’s clothes on Tuesday or Wednesday. How does this happen if she supposable came back and the baby was gone. I’m not saying she did it but the story there telling is not adding up with anything to do with what actually happened to baby Hazana. Two days later reported on Wednesday by officers they found a corpse in HOUSTON!! Officers said it will take weeks to identify how it happened and actually by who. Now the mom and boyfriend are both booked in jail for Galveston County 500,000 dollar bond. The boyfriend has already had a criminal background. The media and everyone around the public area in College Station have shared all over Facebook many sad comments etc. Many have asked in the post how could you do this? Many people also say they would’ve taken her in she’s only two years old doesn’t know anything. Her pictures are so cute and she looked like a loving little two year old.. As you can tell the media is very shaking up about the situation and surrounding cities. Its actually crazy to think this is the world we live in. There are so many more cases on shootings, robbing, murdering etc. Its just very sad to know this is what the world has came to. The world is now corrupt by all the wrong doings of other human beings. Why is this happening in our society? There’s many places I believe people can get help. Why I chose this situation In the world to talk to my class about because its honestly something to think about. In the near future we will be having to raise our kids in this crazy ass corrupt world. It’s very important because us as adults in college we need to be more alert on what’s actually going on in the world and around us. These crazy scary things are happening in our world every day. Everyday!!! Why so much crime in the loving place of AMERICA.

6th blog PHONY EXCSUES.

BLOG#6

Point- These phony excuses Maria made actually gave her some hope and faith after Mrs. Seth. I believe Mrs. Seth changed Marias perspective on the thought of school. You have to remember her dad told her she was going to be nothing but a prostitute.  

Illustration-  Mrs. Seth said “ Did you write this? She ask me. Of course, she knows I wrote it, but she seems disbelieving. You wrote this? She asks again. Eventually I realize that she is not disappointed. Instead, she  is telling me something incredible and wonderful. She is saying that my work is good, and that she is very happy with what I’ve given her. She is telling me that I can succeed here.

Explanation- I think Mrs. Seth cried when she read Marias phony excuses because she was shocked with dis belief that she had actually turned something in. Maria did a good job Mrs. Seth said it was good she was just very happy she had actually turned something into her.

I was forced to up and move my 8^th grade year in middle school. That was something so difficult for me. It was very hard and frightening. Somewhere I’ve lived my whole life, had my childhood there and I had to up and move. It was the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.   I didn’t know anyone I had to make new friends. Very hard to let go of back home and it was scary to be somewhere I’ve never been in a new house my dad built from ground up. In the beginning I never thought it was worthwhile. I thought it was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me. I didn’t think doing it would ever be worthwhile but I was fourteen. When your fourteen and something happens like that of course anyone would think, it’s the worst thing ever or definitely wouldn’t be happy about it . As I  have gotten older many things started to change like my mindset and same as Marias  did. After I moved to this new little bitty town a year later  I actually learned to love it and have met many great friends along the way. I found the one positive person to keep me right. Maybe that’s who Mrs. Seth was to Maria after reading her work . After moving I felt so sad and depressed but now many things have changed in four and a half years and here I am in ANOTHER NEW TOWN. This one is just a tad bit bigger.

My 5th Blog WOW!!

Here are my three quotes.

”We really care what other people think of us so for example you know when you upload a new photo a new profile photo of yourself on Facebook that’s a moment where our mind is very vulnerable to knowing what other people think of my new profile photo and so when we get new likes on our profile photo Facebook knowing  this could actually message me and say  oh you have new likes on your profile photo and we it knows that we’ll be vulnerable to that moment because we all really care about when were tagged in a photo or when we have a new profile photo and the thing is that they control the dial for when and how long technology companies control the dial for when and how long your profile photo shows up on other peoples newsfeed so they can orchestrate it so that other people more often end up liking your profile photo over a delayed period of time for examples so that you end up having to more frequently come back and see what the new likes are”. -Chamath Palihapitiya-  This is 100% correct almost everyone cares about what someone else says or every social media site so many likes it’s ridiculous I have pulled myself away from social media a ton!!

“Um no, Senator no I would not choose to do that publicity here. Senator I think everyone should have control over how their information is used and as we’ve talked about some of the other questions I think that, that is laid out in, in some of the documents but more importantly you want to give people control in the product itself so the most important way this happens is across our service that everyday people comes to our service to choose to share photos or send messages.” The Senator makes Mark speechless and uncomfortable after asking him a private question. We are in control but only of so much.  We cant not make Facebook only see our post but instead its public with family and friends. The Senator made many great points of how social media is taking over our lives and ruining our privacy. Mark Zuckerberg the man who made Facebook a family/ friend site may not have turned out as he wanted. Why cant we know his location or even where he’s at?

“Imagine like when you take that to the extreme where you know bad actors can now manipulate large swathes of people to do anything you want its just a its really really bad state of affairs and we compound the problem right we curate our lives around this perceived sense of perfection because we get rewarded in these short term signals hearts, likes, thumbs up and we conflate that with value and we conflated with truth and instead what it really is is fake brittle popularity that’s short term and that leaves you even more and admit it vacant and empty before you did it because then it forces you into this vicious cycle where you’re like what’s the next thing I need to do now because I need it back think about that compounded by two billion people and then think about how people react then to the perceptions of others.” -Chamath Palihapitiya

 My opinion Social media is taking over were trying to keep up with social media, Its like wanting us to see something that’s not there, so we go searching for something. Social media is only short term and it can take over some peoples lives which is crazy to say but two million people also have different perceptions than me and any other person on this earth. It is ruining our lives effecting our attention span and many more.

My rewritten blog.

 Blog#2 Revision Blog #4

               To start this off my names Chelsey Hirsch. I came from a big city. Nashville Tennessee as many of you may or may not know. Now let me tell you all about back home.

Back home was a very safe area growing up as a kid. My house was on the corner of the subdivision. A big stop sign in my front yard the bus was always right there! Here it is my seventh grade year in middle school. I remember this like it happened to me yesterday! I was standing in the lunch line getting ready to go into the cafeteria. I see these two new boys with long flippy hair. One of them walks up to me  me and asked me where our gymnasium was? I get out of line and direct him to the gymnasium as I look over the boy is following us. They both look at me and say “were brother”. Jesse and Taylor, Jesse was in my grade and Taylor was in the tenth grade.

               I started seeing the brothers every day,  both of them rode the same bus as me and my brother. WE GOT OFF AT THE SAME STOP BUT THEY ALWAYS WALKED THROUGH THIS BACK ALLEY. I never new what the little alley strip led to. As the school year was almost over for summer. More and more it got closer for school to end we all were together every day. The last day of school they were like “come on we got something to show you”. As we were walking in the neighbors yard through the alley was I was nervous! I’m walking I’m walking going up this little hill. Now we established the “HILL” our place on their property. There was a dirt bike hill bike jumping hills that’s all they did was ride bike and do crazy tricks. I cant tell you how much I saw these boys get hurt! We all met up at the hill every day.

               The day comes I meet the whole family, a great feeling am I right? All boys and their momma. Jolene was like a second mom to me. Jolene Jesse, Kris , Mykei, and Taylor. We had so many bonfire/parties. Our friend group got bigger, I brought my  four girlfriends into the clique Tresia and Alex dee dee and destiny . I’m telling you we were all inseparable. They were like all my brothers we had so much fun and some bad times but who doesn’t. I couldn’t  tell you how many times we have rode our bikes to the gas station. “Superstop” was the best. If we ever needed to find each other we would just show up no matter what time it was. These boys were the greatest childhood friends growing up. I know them like the back of my hand and I know home like the back of my hand. All the memories and the boys in general had a huge impact on my life, that I honestly never thought they would. I miss the memories and the hill and just Tenneessee!

MY FIRST MONTH IN BCS.

       I’m going to tell you all about my past month. This past month has went by crazy fast! As I was packing up at home, getting ready to be on my own it finally hit me. I’m going to miss home more than I thought. As move in day got closer and closer my emotions were everywhere. My moms crying my dads crying and next thing you know I’m crying! They were filled with tears of joy and sadness but yet so proud of me. Their ONLY BABYGIRL was actually leaving the house. I still have trouble believing I packed up and moved to College Station on my own. One huge thing I had to realize I wasn’t going to see my parents EVERYDAY! I know their just a phone call away so since I had to adjust to many new things this as well. Hearing them through the phone is not the same as their hugs.

     I’ve had to adjust to many new things. My new schedule for school and work, new people new home. Settling into Bryan/College Station wasn’t so bad for me. I actually like living on my own. I’ve met so many people while being here for just a short month. I have many of my new friends in many of my classes! The three girls I wouldn’t trade meeting for the world are Autumn, Gabbi and Kyndall Ray. I have Kyndall in majority of my classes which is GREAT! Autumn is in my music class which makes that one class more fun. The day me and Autumn met the day I knew she was going to be a life long friend. Now Gabbi I have her in two classes. These three girls I wouldn’t trade meeting for the world. My classes wouldn’t be as fun if I didn’t have them. I’m glad I have met new people but some classmates from my old school are here as well especially my best friend hunter since the ninth grade.

   My classes are all pretty easy going for the most part. Work after work but that’s what college is for. I Have many classes I like actually just one in particular I struggle in which is MATH. I’ve struggled in Math since I was a freshman in High School. I never really worked on it so much until now! I have a Education class and Mrs. Marianne has taught me a lot about studying with her behavior modification project. I have actually  started doing better in math more understanding and more studying! Crazy I’m already a month into school and just took my first exam in READ. I felt pretty prepared but my test anxiety always gets the best of me. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. My first short answer/ essay test in his class I knew what standard was expected already. I’ve done so many essays and short answers I could do them in my sleep.  I love school and if I didn’t my response would probably be a whole lot different and more negative. That’s not me though Life to me is SIMPLE just like my classes accept math but I’m getting to like it so that’s great! When you see progress in yourself it’s a great feeling.

WHO I AM AND WHERE IM FROM.

       To start this blog off my name is Chelsey Hirsch. I came from a big city. Nashville Tennessee some of you may or may not know. Nashville is a music city. Always concerts, festivals, meet and greets etc. if you can’t find something to do in Nashville your crazy! What you need to know about Nashville. Nashville was founded on Christmas Eve in 1779! That is so cool no wonder why it’s so jolly all year round. There’s also this huge AT&T tower downtown. Literally called the “BATMAN BUILDING”. It’s just like his mask really tall pointy ears sticking straight up in the sky.

       I have many important people and animals  in my life? My mom, dad, brother , niece , nephew my best friend and boyfriend. Of courses my two babies! Daisy Mae and Penni. I got Daisy Mae with my brother when I was 10. When I was 14 I moved to Texas and Daisy was along the whole car ride here. She even had her puppies the night before us leaving that next morning in my old house. Which was really cool. Traveling with some pups and Da isy. Penni my other weenie dog I got her almost a year ago from my nanny. Penni is a school pup. Half of school she was with me in the ag shop with my favorite teacher Mr. Accord. If something ever happens to my baby’s it will be very hard, saddening to get over. Not just me but my whole family especially with my dad. Penni is with me and my dad most of the time. They’ve been with me through a lot. I’m fixing to move onto my goals you all have heard enough about my pups. Now let me get to the most important people in my life! My dad I’ve been at his hip since I was a baby. Most people are either  a “mommy” or “daddy’s” girl but I’m actually both. My mom and dad I’ve been at both of their side honestly but my dad a little more. I love both of my parents deeply. If anything happens to them I’ve always said I’m going with them since  I was about seven or eight and it hasn’t changed. I can’t bear to live on this place we call eart. They have taught me everything I know life lessons and I’ve learned many on my own from their raising on me. They help me through everything and anything any way they can. No matter what they’ve never left my side, so I can’t leave theirs it would be unbearable on this place we call earth without them. Now let’s talk about my brother. Me and my brother clay are 4 years apart. We have always been close growing up. I can tell you he has made me tough as nails. Every brother and sister fight right? In school I use to see my brother until his graduation came. He graduated in Tennessee with the White House Blue Devils, I should have as well. After clays graduation we moved and he moved out a year later. Now he has my beautiful niece and nephew. On July twenty eighth Jaxxon Hirsch arrived. Then again Amaryillis Hirsch arrived on Friday the Thirteenth at 3:13 in afternoon. My niece and nephews are my babies! It’s like having my own and we could pull it off, as they were like my kids we all look that much a like!

        My goals for Blinn and beyond?  I’m going to school to be a pediatric nurse. I love working with kids or just helping people in general. For a long time I wanted to be a counselor or a writer I couldn’t decide. All of that changed my senior year. I started doing research on nursing. My mom’s clients helped me a lot. Also my mom knowing so many people has helped me as well. If my mom didn’t know many professors or nurses I wouldn’t know the first clue in what to do to get in the nursing class. I’m going to do the nursing program at Blinn. Also work at a hospital then let whoever I work for pay me to go back to school to become a RN. What I’m good at doing as you can see is writing. Some of my hobbies are eating, hanging out with friends. What’s something that would totally surprise you about me I never missed a day of high school all Four years. I got two scholarships for doing that it was amazing. Hope at the end of reading this you know more about me.

David Brooks wins success.

      David Brooks is more successful in delivering his thesis statement. What makes Brooks text so successful you may ask? Brooks is BIAS with every opinion that is given. To us, him, them, me, whoever! Most of Brooks articles consist of opinionated language. Look for positive or negative descriptions. "Depends on the person!" David Brook's article consist mainly the way the internet affects OUR intelligence, both positive or negative.

      The three main things I want to talk about with David Brooks text that make him so successful. For example: "Crystallized Intelligence is the ability to use experience, Knowledge and the products of life long education that has been stoned in long-term memory." David wants people to nurture crystallized Intelligence rather than fluid Intelligence. Long-term memory and crystallized Intelligence differ over the years leading to understanding and wisdom! Keep in mind this example, very positive. Now lets look at the negative.

      Another example:" Its like you're circulating within an infinite throng, with instant access to people you'd almost never meet in real life." Which what's opposite of this? People online feel more in control! Its crazy but if people really think about this, their carefree. Take yourself away when on the internet "BOREDOM LURKING!!!!" I'm going to end this discussion with positive connotation and a positive example. Last example: " Being online is like being a part of the greatest cocktail party ever and it is going on all the time." The positivity depends agree to disagree. This last example determines what we really needed to focus on, by that I mean get out of this. Hope all three of these text, examples show EVERYONE what makes David Brook's so successful! Thesis statement very strong. Hope this is BIAS enough to all bloggers as this was for David Brook's.
